I am F, 40s and was diagnosed last summer. In my area you can self refer, but I did talk to my GP as well. I ended up going private as the NHS waiting list was 2 years. The process then was very quick, just a month from referral to diagnosis with Aspergers.
I am glad I did it, I still struggle with things, bit at least now i know a bit better what I am struggling with!
I found the book "Nerdy Shy and Socially Inappropriate" by Cynthia Kim very helpful in the "am I autistic" pre-deciding to seek diagnosis phase.

Thank you so much for the help. I am considering for several reasons but how does it work through private? Is it very expensive? Thanks and will check out the articles.
